Very cool, that’s expected 😉 The power of occlusion culling 👍

Interesting to see a bit of details behind the amazing DLSS tech: research.nvidia.com/labs/adlr/DL...

meshoptimizer 0.23 is out! Featuring vertex codec v1 (increased compression ratio, faster decompression + even faster on Apple Silicon), improvements to meshlet builder with fewer disconnected clusters and more options for clustered raytracing and hierarchical clusterization, new algorithms for ...
